Fun night......Was cruising up to go do a photoshoot at tantalus and the unthinkable happened....Not sure how, but my driver front spindle snapped.....Was braking and turning right and my car decided going straight would be more fun....heres the aftermath.
Front bumper is damaged but I believe the crash bar is intact. Steering wheel air bag did deploy. Luckily it was slow speed (roughly 25mph) and I didn't hit a tree or anything. Just went into tall brush. I'm pretty sure salvageable but he passenger rear quarter panel has me worried. Undercarriage is good. Driver front wheel and hub assembly need to be replaced for sure. Suspension looks ok.

dropped her off at the shop today. Shouldnt be an issue getting it fixed. Undercarriage was pretty clean, no damage. The left front hub was destroyed and of course the passenger rear quarter panel and passenger door took some damage. Front crash beam was actually still in tact and undamaged. Air bag did deploy though but only the steering wheel one. Driver front wheel and tire were damaged. None of the headlights was damaged.

That is a heartbreaker ... unbelievable actually. It's not like you were doing a 9G turn or something ... When I had my PW 350Z damaged, the shop wanted to paint all the adjacent panels so the paint would match. It added more to the repair cost but was worth it. I am really sorry. Maybe the Honolulu pot holes weakened it .....

Nope, the SPC camber arm held strong. The hub assembly arm is what broke which is flat out amazing.... I asked the repair shop to not throw it away as I would like to take it to Nissan and basically ask "WTF?!?!!?"
